I am not sure if I like the way it looks or not. I kind of do but kind of dont. But I like the features which you can see on the google video review.

Ratings?

I give it a 7/10.

well its a pre-mod.
it has some nice features:
- I like the 120mm fan on the front.
- the front is neat with the leds in the door.
what I'm not keen about are:
- the door covers everything. that means you have to leave it open to use the USB ports, access the power switch, etc. expect it to get broken with over use.
- the swing-out HDD bay in the bottom looks lame. It didn't seem to move easily in the video, expect it to develope a vibration buzz at some point.
- the black bar under the window kinda covers up the M/B. why have a huge window if your going to put a giant censor bar across it. Thta would be the first thing I'd mod :)
- once you get past the faceplate and the flappy side panels... its a case. Except for that 1 flip out 80mm fan mount on the right side its pretty standard.

at MSRP of $90 its kinda steep. at the $60 cost (through rebates) it might be worth it.

I give it a 6.5
